About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $1.79 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. on January 15, 2026, for a Tier 2 digital twin demonstration supporting next-generation weather radar technology for the National Weather Service.
The contract exercises an option CLIN for electromagnetic interference and obstruction analysis and strategic digital twin roadmap development. Work is performed in West McLean, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2027. The originating BAA (OR-25-017722) seeks innovative research proposals for next-generation weather radar technology to replace the aging NEXRAD system. The solicitation explores radar network concepts, commercially owned radar networks, data integration, phased-array radar technologies, and artificial intelligence applications. Awards under the BAA range from $200,000 to $1,000,000 on a firm fixed-price basis, with NOAA and the National Weather Service anticipating 5–15 total awards. The current NEXRAD system, comprising 158 S-band Doppler radars operated by NWS, USAF, and FAA, has exceeded its 20-year design life with component obsolescence forecast by the mid-2030s. The program follows a phased timeline: initiation and planning (2023–2028), design and development (2027–2032), production (2032–2040), and operations and maintenance (2035 and beyond).
